Absolute rubbish what Highways England said about there not being an issue with flood water on that stretch, it’s always terrible. It was only a matter of time before something as bad as this was going to happen. That poor boy
Margaret Moody: Very sad
Marge Cliffe: So sad. A beautiful girl. Heartbreaking x
Nathan McLean: So, sad, so tragic! Highways England should know that stretch is treacherous!
●●SHEEP suffered a ‘painful death’ after running into a fence trying to escape dog:
Lynne Pollard: That is terrible - dogs should be on leads and responsible owners.
Kath Scowcroft: Absolutely shocking
●●NEW homes bid for Newchurch bowling green, October 29:
Les Nuttall: We need to stop building houses. We need less people not more houses
Jinny Ann: It needs to be a nice green space not houses - is there not enough unaffordable houses being built?
Karen King: Maybe a park for kids. Or something for the elderly.
Matt Young: Won’t be happy until the last tree has gone
Sue Massey: It was lovely as a bowling green, always used and the car park was too, especially when the church had things on
Courtney Dowsing: Jack McCarthy Priestley what
are they doing to Newchurch
Joanne Andrew: Noooo no more houses let us have a nice green area for children to play
parents to relax and see the wildlife visit!
Gary Wright: Have these people tried travelling on the roads in the valley... the infrastructure can’t
cope with any more traffic
Garry Andre Agus:
Houses and more houses, what about, road structure, no room at the
doctors, schools, dentist, hospitals, drainage systems built many years ago / not able to cope, more green space covered.
